Modelling of statistical Influences of Microdefects for Safe Production of casted Components

article imageA challenge for the design and safety of casted components is the scattering of mechanical properties. Microdefects that occur during the casting process determine the quality of a casting. The development of these defects is random. Within the framework of an AiF project, the Fraunhofer Institutes IFAM and IWM have developed a method for modeling these stochastic influences on the failure behavior of castings.

Define graded Parts interactively, quickly and functionally

article imageWith functionally graded materials, components can be optimized according to requirements. Therefore, researchers of Fraunhofer IGD use the application GraMMaCAD to define material distributions elegantly and intuitively on CAD models. In combination with multi-material 3D printing, this creates new possibilities for implementing more complex component requirements.

Fraunhofer LBF develops Application-oriented Methods for the Simulation of Plastic Components

article imageNumerous factors influence the material and component behavior of plastics. This has an impact on the practical design of components: There, not only the fiber orientation plays an important role, but also the material behavior resulting from contact with media or from superimposed load cases. So far, there are no established methods for this. In addition, it is not immediately apparent which aspects have to be taken into account in the design process in order to design components correctly. The Fraunhofer Institute for Structural Durability and System Reliability meets these challenges together with industrial consultants by developing customer-specific methods. The aim is to use existing structures and available tools and to integrate the methods into company structures in the best possible way. The Darmstadt institute accompanies its partners from simulation and material modeling to mechanical testing and evaluation of the results. The results are simulation-supported procedures that take into account very individual load scenarios and thus allow a resource-efficient, lightweight and innovative component design.

Simufact Metal Binder jetting Simulation enables Additive Manufacturing in High Volumes

article imageSimufact has launched a simulation software for Metal Binder Jetting (MBJ) processes. For the first time, manufacturers have the possibility to detect and prevent deformations of parts caused by the sintering process already in the design phase. The new module in Simufact Additive supports users of MBJ technology to achieve the required product quality and at the same time to use the advantages of the process for high volume production.
